Brief history of Islamic presence in Brazil -- The "Muslim Identity" and its definition in relation to the Brazilian religious field -- Globalization, transnational Islamic networks, and their influence in the construction of Muslim identities in Brazil -- The negotiation of Muslim identities inside Brazilian Muslim communities -- Muslim minorities in Brazil and the Netherlands : a comparative perspective. |
| Summary |
This book represents a contribution to the studies of Muslim minorities, and can be compared and contrasted to the analysis of Islam in Europe and in the USA. Besides presenting data about the largest Muslim community in Latin America, an area of the globe that is still ignored by those who study the "Muslim diaspora", this book contributes to the understanding of religious dynamics in minority contexts, as well as issues involving integration of immigrants. |
